Was wondering if the simmons treeshark is too wide of a head for a 50lb. longbow with a 25in. draw?wondering on penetration with a wide head and short draw?

Just remember that an inch of that broadhead sits behind the tip of your arrow. Took me a while to stop drawing them into my bow hand, and I shoot arrows 1.25" longer than my draw.

I've only shot one time at an animal with a TreeShark... and I shot over the deer. But I had to get a dozer in there to fill up the hole it made it made in the ground! ;)

Wow! Tree Sharks, you see deer drop fast! I have similar bow set up as you and I had good results with the tree sharks but was not able to penetrate far side hide. All deer dropped in my view and expired in seconds. However, I was worried if I ever made a less than ideal shot would I have a good blood trail with no exit wound so I switched to the interceptor/safari models. These simmon heads are not as wide and penetrate better than the tree sharks for my bow/arrow setup. I had great results with all simmons heads penetrating thru bone. Tree Shark: high shot thru the backstraps thru the bone below backstraps, cut artery and stopped in the organs. Safari model broke thru shoulder blade and managed to penetrate additional 5.5 inches into lungs.
Great heads! Tough, Fly straight, Big holes, Fantastic blood trails, easy to sharpen with the simmons tools (steelmaster). Plus the price is right when compared to the newer heads that have hit the market.

Aren't those rated by the manufacturer for turkeys more than deer?
Those guys make a number of relatively wide heads that are not as over the top as the tree shark... personally, I would go with something less extreme... and a good amount of overall weight to drive it... And I shoot a few pounds heavier and draw a shade farther than the OP...

The tree sharks are a great deer, turkey, hog and bear head!! Lots and lots of game have been killed with this head and the blood trails are ridiculous. I shoot them alongside the tiger sharks and land sharks. They penetrate great and leave some nasty big holes no matter which model of head you choose. If you have any questions you should give Dave a call at Simmons and he'll be glad to answer all your question. He's a good guy and puts alot of time and effort into the quality of these heads to make them as good as they are!!!
